[[File:Manual steering column.jpg|thumb|A manual steering column aboard an NX class.]]
 The '''manual steering column ''' was a [[helm]] control option aboard some [[starship]]s spacecraft that resembled an antique a joystick. <br> It was capable of providing fine piloting control when precision was in situations where the normal helm controls were not precise or rapid enough.  [[NX class]] starships employed manual steering columns for performing exacting maneuvers.  In [[2154]], [[Ensign]] [[Travis Mayweather]] used a manual-control joystick on Shuttlepod 1, which he referred to as "a stick and rudder system", during a covert visit to [[Vulcan (planet)|Vulcan]].   The [[Sovereign Class]] ''[[USS Enterprise, NCC-1701-E|USS Enterprise-E]]'' had a less important factor than fast reaction timesmanual steering column that allowed the conn to manually control helm functions if the need arose.   The [[Delta Flyer II]] used two manual steering columns in its helm configuration, which completely replaced the old [[LCARS]] controls that had been used on the original Delta Flyer.  Manual Steering Columns are the standard flight control on Star Fleet starfighters, and though rarely-used, are installed in the Helm station on most Star Fleet vessels<br>
